Remember me? Thought not. :P

Yes, it’s been months since I posted and yes, it’s been months since I scrapped or did anything creative. Too much work, not enough willing subjects and not enough time is to blame. Yesterday I was...

Sunday, Sunday – just lots of photos

Day 9: Currently…

I came across an older layout that I did a few years ago  – no photos, titled Currently with some prompts. Perfect for a day when I’m lacking in inspiration! And yes, I’m a little obsessed with our...

Day 10, losing a little steam
